HG Alternative: To make this with high-fiber fettuccine or linguine instead of tofu shirataki, prepare 4 oz. uncooked pasta per package directions. Then each serving will have 335 calories, 7g fat, 644mg sodium, 55g carbs, 6g fiber, 6g sugars, 15.5g protein, and a PointsPlus® value of 9*. Still way better than the average linguine with clam sauce!

Linguine with White Clam Sauce, Average

I Do Not Like It, Clam I Am!

If you're of the "Eeeew, clams!" persuasion, this fattening dish holds little allure. (Lucky you.) However, lots of people like clams, especially clams bathed in buttery sauce over a pile of noodles. So we decided to get all HG on one of the most popular clam dishes out there, linguine con le vongole, a.k.a. linguine with clams. Even though clams themselves are pretty harmless in terms of calories, the pasta and sauce tend to put things over the top. This meal is a lot like shrimp scampi in that way. Since there aren't yet any linguine-shaped tofu shirataki noodles, we went with fettuccine -- if you prefer spaghetti-shaped tofu shirataki, that'll work too. A little light butter here, some tasty seasonings there... and you've got a super-delish dish that's totally and completely guilt-free. So don't be scared of clams -- they only want to be your delicious dinner...
